Boots by the Door
Style: Blues slow dance

[Verse 1]
Muddy boots left drying by the door
I never asked you to be neat
You tracked the whole world in before
And still I loved the mess you'd leave

[Pre-chorus]
I used to keep my doors shut tight
Kept the porch light low and dim
Then you walked in from the rain one night

[Chorus]
Bernard, you're the one I let inside
Not just the house, but past my guard
Nothing about you left me starred
Bernard, you stayed when you could've lied

[Verse 2]
The door still hangs there, half open wide
Like it's waiting on your next return
I don't fix things I don't mind
There's a warmth in what we've earned

[Bridge]
I'm not one for saying much out loud
But I keep the porch light on for you
Every quiet night, every crowd
You're the steady thing I lean into

[Chorus]
Bernard, you're the one I let inside
Not just the house, but past my guard
Nothing about you left me starred
Bernard, you stayed when you could've lied

[Outro]
The boots are drying by the door
I'm not closing it anymore
